Mechanical and energy dissipation characteristics of granite under cyclic impact loading

Abstract

This study investigated the effect of repeated blasting on the stability of surrounding rock during the construction of a tunnel or city underground engineering. The split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) was used to carry out cyclic impact tests on granite samples, each having a circular hole, under different axial pressures, and the cumulative specific energy was proposed to characterize the damage characteristics of the rock during the cyclic impact. The mechanical properties and the energy absorbed by the granite samples under cyclic impact loads were analyzed. The results showed that under different axial pressures, the reflected waveform from the samples was characterized by “double-peak” phenomenon, which gradually changed to “single-peak” with the increase in damage value. The dynamic peak stress of the sample first increased and then decreased with an increase in impact times. The damage value criterion established based on the energy dissipation could well characterize the relationship between the damage and the number of impacts, which showed a slow increase, steady increase, and high-speed increase, and the damage value depended mainly on the last impact. Under the action of different axial pressures, all the failure modes of the samples were axial splitting failures. As the strain rate increased, with an increase in the dimension of the block, the sizes of the rock fragments decreased, and the fragmentation became more severe.
